long, and as he did so, though he was older, he still looked quite dashing with the charm of a mature man!"Are you here to see Aunt Lu! She just went out!" Her smile didn't fade, and she walked a few...Chapter Name: 252

As expected, the company Lin Meng had acquired before, Sen Gong, turned out to have some real potential. This time, the trading halt was for internal restructuring. As a result, Lin Meng, who had bought so many shares, naturally became a shareholder of Sen Gong. This time, it was an invitation from Sen Gong to attend their shareholders' meeting. This news just came in, while Lin Meng was on his way back to the Ruan family by car, he received a call from Sen Gong.

Right now, she's surrounded by chaos. Those reporters are like flies, swarming and getting in everywhere. She can't even catch a break. She might as well take this opportunity to escape from B City, get away from all this commotion. She could visit the Sengen company and take a stroll around the area nearby. It would be a good way to clear her head. Maybe by the time she comes back, all this mess will be over.

Of course the three brothers were delighted. What could be more exciting than receiving an invitation from Mr. Sen at this time The only thing that surprised them was Lin Meng's abilities. They never expected this woman to have such keen perception and courage rivaling a man. She simply said she would eat up so many shares, and she did just that, as if she were certain of victory.Old Mr. Sen, the mess within the group had dragged on for years. No one dared to get involved with him for fear of getting caught in the crossfire. But this woman dared! This courage was one thing, but more importantly, she won! There are many people in the world who are brave but reckless, but those who are both brave and resourceful enough to win a fight are rare indeed!

Ruan Chengyi thought back to when Lin Meng had applied for funds from him before, wanting to invest in the stock market. At the time, he had underestimated her and been wary of her. Now, looking back, he felt a slight sense of shame.

"Let's take two more people with us!" Ruan Chengyi quickly organized his thoughts and said calmly, "I've heard a little about the forest workers. The people there are old hands, some of them are tough to deal with. Taking a few more people will allow you to discuss things further if anything goes wrong."

Because, according to Lin Meng's account, Ruan Chengyi estimated that with the stocks Lin Meng currently held in SenGong, he must be one of the top shareholders. At that time, he would have the full right to participate in internal group affairs and decision-making! If SenGong could be acquired, serving as GuangDa's logistics support, wouldn't GuangDa become even more powerful!

When it came to business matters, the men's attitudes shifted. They put aside other trivial matters and began discussing the invitation they had received. Even Ruan Chengan, who hadn't been seriously involved in company business but had grown up in a business family and had been exposed to it for a long time, joined the discussion.

Outside the house, those reporters who were chattering and clamoring incessantly immediately became scenery boards, directly ignored by these four people!

But, perseverance is the nature of these reporters!

The next day, after the newspaper proudly published the news of Rong Ling having an illegitimate child, the photos of him and Lin Meng pulling at each other in the hospital corridor suddenly became quite meaningful!

Shocking news: A private child has been revealed to the chairman of the Asia-Pacific Group!

Outside the ward, shoving and jostling, suspected lovers confront each other, jealousy reaching its peak!

Another sparrow has been born, can it transform into a phoenix Let's wait and see!

Breaking News: Zhu Yilin hospitalized because she almost had a miscarriage!

Can the wife of Bank of China's new chairman be both inside and outside!

……

News and reports like these flooded the newspapers and the internet. The media viewed Zhu Yiyin with a mix of envy and slight worry; while Lin Meng was portrayed by the media as a vicious and immoral person, based on speculation.

How many people are behind this, I don't know, it's a mystery!

But it's certain that this series of events is yet another product of mainstream media being manipulated! Domestic media rarely embodies integrity and fairness, so such a phenomenon isn't surprising to Lin Meng. Five years ago, she had already experienced it firsthand. At the time, she was young and still held some expectations for the media, hoping they would give her a just response. But after experiencing it once, understanding the messiness behind it, there wasn't much left to look forward to!

That's pretty quick! Something that happened last night is already in the newspapers today! If domestic media could be this efficient when reporting on food safety, I reckon people wouldn't be living in such fear.

Scoffing, Lin Meng tossed aside the newspaper. Recalling the photo of Zhu Yiyee plastered across the front page, and the media's speculation about when this "phoenix" who had risen to prominence thanks to her child would ascend even further, she pursed her lips slightly, pushing these useless words out of her mind.

She sat up straight and walked with dignity. She didn't live for others, but as long as her conscience was clear, she would be content!

Let those media outlets make a fuss if they want!

That man said he would explain to her, so she waited for his personal explanation.

This morning, the Ruan family's house was swarmed by reporters, making it impossible to even leave. Lin Meng didn't want to face the media, so under Miao Qing's arrangement, he directly got into a car under the flashing of cameras and forcefully broke through the crowd of reporters. He then changed cars twice along the way before shaking off his pursuers.

Lin Meng first went to find Ah Zhen, entrusting the little one to her care. Ah Zhen was at leisure at home, unburdened by life's demands. Sometimes, when she felt inspired, she would dabble in fashion design. So she had plenty of free time. Entrusting the little one to her was a very good choice.Ah Zhen welcomed the arrival of the little one with open arms. She loved him dearly, almost like her own son!

Only the little ones were a bit unhappy.

"Mommy, can YouYou go with you!" To be apart from Mommy for so many days, the little one thinks about it and feels very uncomfortable!

"No, you can't. You still need to train your martial arts, Yoyo. When you're ready, you'll be able to protect mommy. Didn't you forget that!"

The little kid furrowed his brow in some distress, then finally bit his lip and nodded with great reluctance.

"Mommy, come back soon, okay Youyou will miss... miss... miss you so much!"

"Hee hee, Mommy will miss...miss...miss Yuyu so much!"

Having thanked Ah Zhen beforehand and promised to bring back a lot of local specialties as gifts, including some special toys for the little one, Lin Meng finally left under the reluctant farewells of the little one with a pouty face.

She had booked an afternoon flight, so Lin Meng still had a whole morning to do one thing. There was someone on her mind, someone she should have visited long ago. Rong Ling was probably preoccupied with matters of the heart right now, and after going to the森工 area, she didn't know how many days she would stay there. So before she left, she absolutely had to visit the nursing home.

This countryside nursing home was located quite far out, taking her almost an hour to get there from the city center by bus. There didn't seem to be any residents around the nursing home either, and it looked incredibly peaceful. On the positive side, this place was indeed tranquil and suitable for recuperation. However, a closer look revealed that the nursing home was rather dilapidated. Even the paint on the main gate was peeling slightly, giving it an aged appearance!

She frowned slightly, checked in at the entrance, and stepped inside the nursing home. Under the staff's curt gesture, she found the room where Lin Bao was.

Pushing open the door, the dirt and clutter inside was the first thing that caught her eye. Then, with a silly giggle, a somewhat hunched figure, along with its enormous wheelchair, came into view!

Her heart skipped a beat. In an instant, she held her breath, her eyelids fluttering nervously, and a strange feeling surged within her.

He only gave her his back--a thin and frail one, which made her unable to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes. Before, he was so tall, standing firm like a mountain, making her, who was so small, look up at him in awe. Now, he had become this way, relying on a wheelchair to get through the rest of his life!

Slowly, she trembled as she shut the door.

Suppressing the pain, she slowly walked towards her.

He sat in the sunlight, fiddling with his hands, seemingly playing with nothing in particular, and occasionally letting out a silly chuckle from his lips, like a child who had received a treasure.

She lightened her steps, not knowing why, as if she were an assailant, quietly making her way to his side and then stopping.

He was lost in his own world, oblivious to her arrival. It seemed as if he had cut himself off from the outside world, still fiddling with his ten fingers. Those fingers weren't actually clean. She wanted to understand why he was so fascinated by them, so she looked closely, but all she saw were his thin fingers, just skin covering bone. All she could also see was what appeared to be black dirt under his fingernails.

Ten fingers, clumsy in the sunlight swaying and sliding. He grinned at those ten fingers, a silly smile on his face. From time to time, white saliva would slide from the corner of his mouth and drip onto his clothes. She followed her gaze downward, able to see the dirt and disarray of his clothes. Before, even when he was busy working at the construction site, he was always neat. When he returned home, he would definitely change into a fresh set of clothes. If he went out to do business with others, it was always with a fine appearance, never like this dishevelled moment!

Compared to before, the man in front of her felt so unfamiliar!

The gap is too big!

She thought about how he became this way, her nose felt sore, and her legs went weak. She knelt down halfway, her heart filled with heartache. After all, it was her fault! If not for her, Uncle Rong wouldn't have been threatened like that, and he wouldn't have had an accident on the construction site. Those remaining blood clots were the biggest culprit.

She is the cause, so she can't escape this at all, she can't stand outside of it!

Because she was getting closer to him, she clearly smelled a sour smell coming from him, a kind of...smell like urine!

She felt angry!

When she first came here, the employees' cold and indifferent attitude made her very uncomfortable. Now, her own father has been taken care of like this by them, what is the reason! After paying the nursing home, they should take good care of people, how can they even neglect cleaning the room, leaving him smelling so sour!

She reached out, gently leaning in until she finally rested her hand on his shoulder, squeezing it firmly. That's when he broke off his own amusement, turning his head with a dribble of saliva at the corner of his mouth, looking at her with a bewildered expression.

Lost!

Yes, it's exactly the feeling of being lost!

Those eyes, which once made her feel a certain awe, had lost their depth and sharpness, replaced by a look of bewilderment. He had become an old man, an ordinary one, though he was only in his fifties!

She didn't know how he had spent the past few years, but judging by his appearance, they had certainly not been easy. After all, it takes a difficult ordeal to transform a spirited middle-aged man into this haggard and withered state.

"Hmm... eat... eat..."

He probably didn't recognize her. Seeing her after so many years, his eyes showed no excitement whatsoever, still that same hazy confusion. He opened his mouth, but there were no affectionate words, only a request for food!

The instinct of a creature at the dawn of evolution!

Are you hungry!

Her heart ached as if being tightly clenched, her throat unbearably dry. After much struggle, she managed to utter a hoarse voice.

"Dad..."

“Eat...eat...eat...”

He still called out, feeling no great emotion for the name!

"Eat..."

He called out while drool dripped from his mouth.

She reached out and gently wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, dabbing it away little by little. He seemed to find it amusing, as he lowered his head and took a bite of one of her fingers.

She let out a "tsk" sound, immediately pulling her finger out, but she could still see a circle of tooth marks on her fingertip, it hurt a little.

He was probably unhappy because the delicious food he was about to eat suddenly disappeared. He patted the wheelchair with one hand and waved the other, shouting angrily.

"Eat!…… Eat!……"

"What are you eating!" a high-pitched, forceful female voice exclaimed. "You're asking for it! Always thinking about food. Do you think we're here to feed pigs"

The female voice grew closer and louder, seeming about to reach the door. Then came a resounding "bang!" – the door was kicked in with force, carrying a palpable sense of anger and frustration.

Lin Bao seemed to be filled with fear at the sound. His high-pitched cry immediately subsided, but he continued to grumble unhappily in his mouth, muttering "eat, eat," like a child. It felt as if Xiao Youyou, when she was two years old, would have been much stronger than him!

Lin Meng took a deep breath, looking at the dejected figure of Lin Bao, who was playing with his own hands like a wronged child. A trace of anger flashed across her face. She stepped forward and walked out, flinging open the door.

“Stop right there!” she called out to the stout, middle-aged woman in a caregiver’s uniform who was slowly walking away.

"What the heck!" The woman's voice was rough and impatient as she turned away.

"Come in and tidy up this place!"

The woman frowned, her face turning displeased. "I just finished cleaning it! Why do I have to clean it again You think I'm a 24/7 maid, ready to do whatever you ask Let me tell you, I'm busy here, and it's not just your elderly relative who needs looking after, I have other elderly people to be responsible for too!"

The woman turned and was about to leave.

"Stop right there!" Lin Meng shouted, "This is a convalescent home, isn't it Are you a staff member here We paid you money, so you have to provide service! I ask you, who's responsible for the hygiene of this room! Who's responsible for the people in this room! Come and take a look yourself, what mess is this room in! And, smell this air yourself, what does it smell like on these people! Did you even give him a bath!"

The woman's face stiffened, feeling a little guilty under Lin Meng's questioning, but also becoming even more indignant. The unpleasant expression on her face became even more obvious. Seeing that Lin Meng looked young and inexperienced, she decided to bully him.

“Well, you're talking nonsense. Of course I've tidied up the place properly. But look at your own family member! He's paralyzed from the waist down, incontinent, and has dementia. How do you expect me to manage him on my own! You know the situation at the nursing home. There’s no way I can revolve my entire life around your family member. If you're unhappy, then transfer him somewhere else! You pay a certain amount each month for the services we provide. Do you think we should treat your family member like royalty with such a small fee Let me tell you, if you don't have the money, stop acting tough in front of me! Calculate carefully, with that little bit of money, where else can you possibly put him Besides this place, there's nowhere else to accommodate him. Stop bragging in front of me. If you have the ability, take your old man away. But if he stays here, then everyone receives the same treatment.” his own son! It was definitely something his third uncle would do to notice the young boy and try every means to draw him over to their side. During this time, his third uncle must have been investi...
